The
article is devoted to the peculiarities of Rus’—
Byzantine relations in Taman, and specific role of Tmutorokan’ as condominate
possession of Byzantium
and Rus’. The discussed details of the biography of
Prince Rostislav Vladimirovich
are revealed, as well as the question of the reasons for his poisoning by the
katepano of Cherson and perception of this murder.
The evidence about the hypothetical uprising of the Cherson residents in the
60s — 70s of XI c. and the campaign against Cherson of Princes Vladimir Monomakh and Gleb Svyatoslavich is analyzed. The data on the campaign
against Korsun’ in 1077 seems unlikely.
